But Taste of Auckland director Robert Eliott says there are no spaces big enough or more suited to the event than the inner-city park.

"As long as people want to come to Taste we want to keep running it and this is the perfect space for it."

Mr Eliott says he and other organisers would like the council to look at ways to upgrade the park to minimise any risk of future damage.

In March last year the Waitemata Local Board approved the use of the park for the 2012 and 2013 Taste of Auckland events on the understanding it would not receive future endorsement from the board after 2013.

It recommended organisers looked for an alternative location immediately.
